Rory plays golf with Trump from the forward tees, swing is almost “full speed”
Rory McIlroy is expected to return to competitive golf the first week of March at the WGC-Mexico Championship, and he appears to be healing well from rib stress fracture that forced his withdraw from the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January.

On Sunday, McIlroy was back on the course playing with none other than U.S. President Donald Trump. While the image above also shows former New York Yankee outfielder Paul O’Neill and Clear Sports CEO Garry Singer, the foursome was actually rounded out by Nick Mullen and Rich Levine.
According to NoLayingUp, the most reliable source for Rory McIlroy news these days, McIlroy played from the forward tees but he did hit some drivers. He also said his swing was “nearly at full speed” based on TrackMan numbers.
For those wondering about Trump’s game, Rory told NoLayingUp that “[Trump] probably shot around 80. He’s a decent player for a guy in his 70’s!”

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

Lost all respect for Rory on this one. You’re either with Mango Mussolini or against him. If you’re with him go ahead and play golf with him, but bear the humiliation of being allies when the bombshells drop around his “presidency.” Shame on Rory!

Respect the president as we respect this game, respect Rory for wanting to engage him. Trump is just trying to fix this broken world, Rory is just trying to fix a broken rib. That’s all there is here!

President Trump’s weekend vacations to his private club in Florida have cost taxpayers almost as much in a month ($11.3 million) as President Obama’s entire travel spending for a year ($12.1 million).
Republicans and Trump complained all the time about Obama taking vacation and playing Golf. Totla Hypocisy
Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump
President @BarackObama’s vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars—-Unbelievable!

Yuge beatdown in store for Chuck. He’s running the country, maintaining a 2.8 index and he owns the course; His WITB is probably classified but he has a $3,000 driver, the secret service can referee the match and his four-ball partner is Rory. Bring a friend and that billion dollars – he’s free next weekend.
